When I teach a class of younger kids I like to bring along a soft toy that is my mascot. Mines an orang utan. I introduce her to the class and say she's shy and doesn't like it when people are unkind or doing the wrong thing. Then I choose someone sitting/ working well that she can sit with and change the person throughout the day and routines to make sure lots of children get a turn.
It's also important to explain not everyone will get a go but maybe they will next time you visit.
I've even used it with older classes by putting it on the whiteboard with a magnetic clip with a speech bubble and reminders like newsletters, people who need to go places at a certain time, assembly time, etc.
